Highlighted Reviews
"My Jack Russell loves this toy! Very durable and perfect size. He tends to chew through a lot of toys and so far this has held up!"
"When I first opened the toy the stitching was not that great. My medium 40 pound dog got ahold of it and tore it apart within seconds just by holding it in her mouth and swinging it back and forth. I would not recommend this toy because it is not as durable as they claim."
Bottom Line
This toy is a good option for dogs that enjoy squeakers and are not overly aggressive chewers. However, it may not hold up well for more robust dogs.
